Disability Insurance Claims in Georgia

Disability Insurance Claim: Most people in the state of Georgia, who have purchased a disability policy – whether it is an individual policy or a group policy, believe that if they were to become disabled, they would receive benefits. People don’t want to believe that disability insurance companies are in the business of denying disability claims, but unfortunately, many people in Georgia find out the hard way that the disability insurance company is in the business of collecting premiums but considers it to be bad business if they have to pay out benefits to claimants. Because of this universal philosophy, insurance companies often find themselves in adversarial positions with their insured after a claim is made upon the disability insurance company.

If you ignore the denial or hope it will get better on its own, the insurance company will always prevail in a Georgia disability insurance claim.

(2) What can I expect from your law firm?

Our Georgian disability attorneys will listen to your story and understand exactly why the disability insurance company has denied your claim. Once we understand the sequence of events that brought you to our office, we will work together to get you the benefits that you deserve. Disability insurance companies in Georgia know that most disability claimants in Georgia are very vulnerable and are at their weakest point when they are forced to file a claim. They know that you are filing because you really need the money and they will do whatever they can to sabotage your claim from day one. You can expect a law firm that will pay attention to the details of your case and give you sound legal advice based on firsthand knowledge and experiences with the disability insurance companies.

(3) How does the court system work?

If you are a resident of Georgia and wish to file a suit to enforce your Georgia disability insurance, you can do this in the Georgian State Court.

In case you want to file an appeal based on the decision of the lower court, the next court above includes the Court of Appeals and the Georgia Supreme Court.

In the event that you are a resident of Georgia and the disability insurance company is situated in a state other than Georgia, then you can file a suit in the Georgian Federal District Court. You can only file in Federal Court if the disability benefit payable is more than $75,000. There are three Federal District Courts in Georgia and the appeal can be filed in either of them. They are the Southern District of the Georgian Federal Court, the Middle District of the Georgian Federal Court, and the Northern District of the Georgian Federal Court.

(4) What about ERISA-governed disability insurance policies?

A majority of disability insurance policies both short term and long term polices are governed by federal ERISA laws. ERISA polices are provided by the employer however they have many restrictions that are not in favor of the employee. In fact, most ERISA policies are completely one sided and must be appealed on a regular basis. Depending on your employer, you may be paying for the benefits of your Georgia policy or very often, the disability policy is an earned benefit that you receive just for being an employee in the company. You may be paying for the policy by taking a deduction of salary and having it applied for your benefit in an ERISA group disability policy. In this type of case, the disability insurance denial suit can be filed in the Georgia Federal District Court or in the alternative, it is also possible to file the same disability law suit before the federal court of any state in which the insurance company carries on business.
